E, stated that he <br /> 5 believed he spoke for all his neighbors when he urged the <br /> 6 City to approve the proposed development of that vacant <br /> 7 parcel for two more homes . He said he could see no reason <br /> 8 for maintaining a 75 foot sideyard setback on either lot <br /> 9 when all the rest of the lots in that addition are only <br /> 10 68 foot wice:..!fr. Puncochar concluded by saying he could <br /> 11 see nothing but benefit to the neighborhood from such <br /> 12 development . <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Mr . Burt affirmed that the new lots would now be Tract A <br /> 15 and B rather than described in metes and bounds as would <br /> 16 have been necessary had platting been required . <br /> 17 <br /> 18 There were no further comments from neighbors and the Chair- <br /> 19 closed the public hearing at 8 : 28_ p.m. <br /> 20 <br /> 21 Before a motion to recommend approval was offered, Chairman <br /> 22 Madden thanked the Commissioners for their attendance that <br /> 23 evening on such short notice, in view of the fact that no <br /> 24 meeting had been anticipated in May. <br /> 25 <br /> 26 Commission Recommendation <br /> 27 Motion by Brownell, seconded by Franzese to recommend Council <br /> 28 approval of the request from Advanced Design Inc. to subdivide <br /> 29 without platting Lot 12 , Block 1 , Bonnie View Heights Addition, <br /> 30 a 68 foot X 293 . 33 foot parcel , into 2 lots of 68 X 134. 15 <br /> 31 feet each, contingent on approval of a variance from the <br /> 32 required 75 foot minimum lot width and subject to the removal <br /> 33 of the existing home on the property and provision of drain- <br /> 34 age which will not adversely impact the adjacent properties . <br /> 35 In recommending approval , the Commission finds that; <br /> 36 (a) there were no objections from the neighbors; and <br /> 37 (b) the proposal represents the highest and best use of that <br /> 38 property. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 Motion carried unanimously. <br /> 41 <br /> 42 Request for Sidevard Setback Variance <br /> 43 Advanced Design Inc. had also requested a seven foot variance <br /> 44 from the 75 foot sideyard setback required by the zoning <br /> 45 ordinance for newly created lots at 3109 Townview Avenue <br /> 46 N. E, and 3108 32nd Avenue N. E . <br /> 47 <br /> 48 Staff Report <br /> 49 Mr. Burt affirmed that there was no land to be given in this <br /> 50 instance and granting the variance would just be a formality <br /> 51 to bring the new lots into conformity with all the rest in <br /> 52 that addition . He said the homes to be constructed on these <br /> 53 lots would have to maintain all the other setbacks required <br /> 54 by the zoning ordinance. The Manager told Commissioner Faust <br /> 55 although there might be a potential for other variance requests , <br />
